NIAS DOCTORAL PROGRAMME

The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) is one of the most
unique institutions in the country, conducting advanced research in
multidisciplinary areas that bridge the gap between the natural and
engineering sciences, social sciences, humanities and the arts. By
regularly bringing together its academic community with administrators and
managers from industry and government, leaders in public affairs, and
eminent individuals in all walks of life, the Institute also aims to
create a new leadership that would effectively contribute to solving some
of the complex problems facing modern India today.

A limited number of research scholarships are now available in the
Institute for bright and committed postgraduate students interested in
pursuing independent research towards a doctoral degree. The specific
areas of research for which scholarships may be available this year are
agro-ecology; education; history, culture and archaeology; materials
science and heritage; mathematical modelling, simulation, artificial
intelligence and image processing; philosophy of science and mathematics;
primate behavioural ecology; sociology and social anthropology; strategic
studies; and systems analysis.

The scholarships are open to those holding a Master's degree in any
relevant subject in the natural sciences, engineering, social sciences,
humanities and the arts, but with a consistently proven academic record.
Some research and/or field experience in the concerned areas may be
preferred, but is not essential.

Each scholarship will be initially available for three years. The
scholarship amount is fixed at Rs 8000 per month for the first two years
and Rs 9000 per month for the third year, with an additional 15% per month
as HRA. Book and contingency grants will also be made available to each
research scholar as per the rules of the Institute.

Applications on plain paper, including a curriculum vita and a clear
statement of purpose detailing the research interests of the candidate and
explaining why she/he would like to join NIAS, must be sent to the
Controller, National Institute of Advanced Studies, Indian Institute of
Science Campus, Bangalore 560 012, India on or before 10 September, 2004.
Explicit mention must be made of the research area for which the
application is being sent. Candidates short-listed from the national pool
of applicants will be subsequently called for an interview, to be held in
Bangalore in October 2004.
